Experimental vacuum squeezing in rubidium vapor via self-rotation

  • 1. Fachbereich Physik, Universitaet Konstanz, D-78457 Konstanz, (Germany)

Description

We report the generation of optical squeezed vacuum states by means of polarization self-rotation in rubidium vapor following a proposal by Matsko et al. [Phys. Rev. A 66, 043815 (2002)]. The experimental setup, involving in essence just a diode laser and a heated rubidium gas cell, is simple and easily scalable. A squeezing of (0.85±0.05) dB was achieved
